I too just purchased a hardtop from a fellow lister (thank you Greg) and soon it will be on it's way to Texas. Tomorrow I'll order the same retro H/W Kit so any additonal pics/install insights are greatly appreciated. BTW while I'll have hr open install the new h/w I'll also be dropping in the "smartop" mod option I also purchased.
BTW Here in Texas we got 12" of snow last Thursday! Never thought I would have to shovel snow in Texas!! ;-)

I'm in Rowlett and bought my parts from Boardwalk in Plano. They sold me the receivers for $123 per piece. Do you have bayonette type of receivers in the car? Let me know if you need help with the install.

Hey Neighbor!
The Hardtop I bought does have Bayonet ends but I have a 997 that doesn't have any receiving H/w so am ordering kit today from Boardwalk. Once everything lands, if you don't mind, would like to pick you brain over Starbucks (on me)!

Thank you but after hearing the "rattles & Squeeking" feedback on the banonet style and the kit was only $230.00 (Boardwalk) for ALL the NEW style H/W, just went that route.
BTW that igloo ROCKS!!!

2 receivers & 2 screw pins for $230 or just receivers? If you have bayonette pins but buying threaded screw receivers, then you'll need to replace the pins too.

Ok, it wouldn't be right to start a thread and not post pictures of the results. Exactly a month after I won the hardtop on Ebay, I finally got the top installed.
$154 for the Hardtop.
$420 for shipping.
$250+ for the receiver mount.
